A History of Wine in Europe, 19th to 20th Centuries, Volume I: Winegrowing and Regional Features

by Silvia A. Conca Messina (Editor), Stéphane Le Bras (Editor), Paolo Tedeschi (Editor), Manuel Vaquero Piñeiro (Editor)

Overview

This two-volume collection analyses the evolution of wine production in European regions across the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. France and Italy in particular have shaped modern viticulture, by improving oenological methods and knowledge, then disseminating them internationally. 

This first volume looks closely at the development of winegrowing, with cases ranging from Italian and French regions to smaller producers such as Portugal and Slovenia.
